One issue I encountered is that: the extensions don't update right away - as per the page 'Special:Version'.
Is there a simple way to reload the extensions? Is it caching?
Special:Verison caches the VCS version information for each extension [0]. In theory this cache will be invalidated each time the git hash of $IP is updated. It should be possible to write a maintenance script to ensure that the caches are purged for the current hash of $IP. In practice though it is only a cosmetic issue.
